Just a Mud-blood -D.M

December

December
The air was cooling snow sticking to the ground
Kids running around in the courtyard making snow angels and snowmans with friends
I was walking through the courtyard with Draco's arm around me as we headed to the common room

" what are you fling for Christmas" Draco asks me as I was watching other kids play in the snow " a the grangers like always Lizzie said that's what's she wanted to do" I say " you?"

" Christmas at the manor is dreadful, I mean there's decorations and this annual Christmas party my parents throw for the sacred 28 families " he says
" no presents?" I question " my father thinks it's stupid but my moms sneaks me gifts before my father wakes up, she likes to sit at the bottom of my bed and watches me open them"
I smile at his memory " hey lovebirds!" We heard a familiar voice behind us

We turned around " Blaise"
" and Astoria and pansy" I finished " so you two going to the Yule ball?" Astoria said catching up with us " no! It's just a stupid dance" Draco said
I frowned at his response " want to go to hogsmeade  with us?" Pansy asked me " yea" I said
I went to let go of Draco's arm but he tightened his grip " I'll be fine" I say
He glared at the girls but soon let me go

We cut them off and went the other direction I felt Draco's eyes on me as I got out of his sight
" so do you really not want to go to the Yule ball" Astoria asked me putting her hands on her pocket "no I do but it's fine Draco's right, it's just a stupid dance" I say fiddling Around with my rings

Draco
As I watched Serena leave my sight I grew more nervous, pansy and Astoria are reckless more pansy but she'll be fine her voice assured me
" why don't you want to go the Yule ball" Blaise questioned me " because it's stupid" I said
" don't you think Serena would want to go?"
" no" I added
He shrugged it off and we headed back to the common room

Soon it was lunch and Serena still wasn't back
I grew worrisome, " calm down mate she'll be fine they'll will be Back at any moment" Blaise assured me " I'm not worried" i lied " yea sure mate, just eat something" he said " no I'm not hungry" I said pushing away the food

I soon heard giggling, I knew it belonged to her
I looked up towards the great hall doors and saw her
Her eyes scanned the room and her eyes met mine and a smile immediately grew on her face and her cheeks grew red

She walked over to me and sat down next to me
I saw she had two bags " do you want to see what I got" she asked me, I nodded smiling

I toned out everything except her as her eyes lit up as she showed me what she bought
" and this necklace was the last one...thank Merlin right I had argue with this first year about it but I got it" she says 

I smiled knowing she had fun " anyway I think I found the perfect dress while shopping.."
I saw her frown at what Astoria said
I turned to the conversation " dress for the what?" I questioned " the ball dumbass" she said
I glared at her " pansy did you find one?" Serena asked her " there's this one I had my eye on I think I'm going to get it tomorrow" she said
" what are you two going to do if your not going to the ball" Blaise asked us
Serena shrugged her shoulders

The ball was in two days, I started packing for Christmas break so I could see Lizzie and hermione

I headed over to Gryffindor tower and George let me and I headed to hermiones dorm
I opened the door and saw her and Ginny playing a board game. " oh can I play" I say joining them on the floor " of course come on" she said patting a seat next to her " so are you all packed" she asked handing me a board game piece

I nodded as I set the piece on the board " I'm so excited to see my parents and Lizzie"
I smiled at her comment " me to" I say
" I'm just a little sad my parents won't be here for this one" I frown

Hermione and Ginny hugged me " don't worry you'll have bunches of fun at the ball to take your mind off it" she says " oh I'm not going" I say " why" she said setting the cards down " draco doesn't want to go, but it's fine really" I say
Her and Ginny look at each other
It was fine, really it was
